Workforce readiness is critical to Oklahoma's economic growth. There is a shortage of skilled labor that is worsening due to mismatches between the skills employers need and what the education system provides. Collaboration is needed between the public and private sectors to address this issue through systemic changes and developing a skilled workforce with ongoing training opportunities.
Despite the best efforts of dedicated practitioners, current career guidance practices are failing to prepare youth for career success in the face of the looming perfect storm in job markets. A new, harmonized, whole community approach will be needed.

NewSchools Venture Fund presents ReimaginED, a 50 slide overview of the present and future of education.
From TED talk playlists to government speeches, everyone agrees: education is changing. Exactly how, why, or what it all means is still up for debate. Are the low United States PISA scores a sign of stagnation or creativity? Does technology replace or enhance face to face interaction? Are we trying to teach skills, concepts, or learning mindsets?
At NewSchools, we’d like to set the stage differently, in the context of the ground up innovation already happening. While some see the systemic challenges facing us as signs of a depressed age or solemn future, we see it as a call to action. The time is now to re-imagine our education system, and the landscape that’s developed over the last several years offers fertile ground for new approaches.
Just what are the challenges facing our nation, and what are problem solvers doing to keep training the next generation to be the best and brightest? Find out in Re-imagined, a 50 slide overview of the present and future of education.

The Break Light: Calm Technology for Behavior ChangeLorelei Kelly
My capstone project for the Human-Computer Interaction Design program at Indiana University. The Break Light is intended to help motivate people to get up and move around during computer use, through the familiar routine of drinking water and then getting up to refill the cup or go to the bathroom. The Break Light relies on increases in brightness and speed, and changes in color temperature over time and as the water level in the cup goes down, to gently remind the user that they should drink water, and refill the cup.

The Employability Gap: Five Ways to Improve Employability Outcomes in Higher EdMichael Bettersworth
Colleges are rewarded for enrollment numbers and there is increasing attention on graduation rates, yet very little if any attention is paid to student placement and earnings. Considering the massive investment required for higher education, aren't these valuable measures as well? In this session, Michael Bettersworth makes the case why degrees increasingly matter less, competencies are the real currency, and student success is about much more than enrollment numbers or graduation rates. It's also about getting a job.
Michael Bettersworth is the associate vice chancellor for technology advancement at the Texas State Technical College System. Shortly after joining TSTC in 2002, Michael founded TSTC Forecasting to identify and analyze new technical competencies needed by employers. The core purpose of this work is to improve student employability through curriculum alignment with market demand. TSTC Forecasting has published over 28 studies on emerging technologies and occupations leading to new college curriculum in nanotechnology, biotechnology, energy, video games, manufacturing, healthcare among other topics. New studies are currently underway in big data, unmanned aerial systems, and social media. Michael's current work focuses on the development of a new higher education funding model based on exiter earnings, the use of real-time labor market data for curriculum alignment, college program evaluations using placement and earnings data, and curriculum development through a common skills language in partnership with the Texas Workforce Commission. Michael is an unconventional thinker, an informed speaker, and a staunch advocate for the important role of education in our nation's shared prosperity.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Editor's Notes
“ Schools don’t believe they are in the workforce readiness business.” C. Michael Ferraro, President - Training Solutions
We also know that the US Workforce is aging – these numbers show that there will be significant turnover in the workforce resulting in a loss of skilled workers – The increase in the youngest cohort is interesting The growth in the younger cohort will not offset the retirement of those in the age groups 55+ which continues to grow larger every year. Over next 10 years, more BB will retire. Oklahoma’s median age (US Census 2006-08 American Community Survey) was 36.1 years of age.
Inadequate literacy and numeracy skills among large segments of our student and adult populations. An ongoing shift in the demographic profile of our population, powered by the highest immigration rates in nearly a century. The continuing evolution of the economy and the nation’s job structure, requiring higher levels of skills from an increasing proportion of workers. Changes in our Economy: 1. Labor Market has changed. 2. Employment growth. 3. Correlation between earnings and educational attainment These changes are caused by Inadequate literacy and numeracy skills among large segments of our student and adult populations. Demographic shifts: An ongoing shift in the demographic profile of our population, powered by the highest immigration rates in nearly a century. U.S. labor force growing slower—none of the growth is predicted from native-born workers 25-54 years of age. Immigrants will account for more than 50% of the growth.Hispanic population will increase by 20% by 2030. 57% 16-64 year olds are foreign-born 50%+ lack a high school diploma 80% report they do not speak English well or none at all. The continuing evolution of the economy and the nation’s job structure, requiring higher levels of skills from an increasing proportion of workers. Over the next 25 years or so, as better-educated individuals leave the workforce they will be replaced by those who, on average, have lower levels of education and skill. Over the same period, 50% of projected job growth will be concentrated in occupations associated with higher education and skill levels. Millions of students and adults will be less able to qualify for higher-paying jobs.
#1: Core problem: fact that the educational system hasn’t evolved. While the world changed, education system and curriculum didn’t; students are taught the same information they were taught decades ago. #2: None of 2008 U.S. presidential candidates are focusing on the issue of educational change. Ken Kay stated at the Sysmposium on the Workforce Readiness of the Future U.S. Labor Pool that 99% of the public believes that getting K-12 right is related to U.S. Competititiveness. #4: Bill Brock, former senator and Secretary of Labor, stated that the teaching profession is not attracting the best and the brightest and the “quality of the education system can’t be greater than the quality of teachers”.
In 40 years we have moved from #1 in the world to 18 th out of 24 industrialized nations. In 11 years (1995) we have dropped ranking from 1 st to 14 th . Today, the United States ranks 18 th out of 24 industrialized nations in high school graduation rate. United States college graduation rank is 14 th in the world. 2 nd highest country with percentage of 55—64 year old citizens with college degrees. 25 – 34 years of age U.

Poverty rate is more than twice that of families headed by high school graduates. Each drop out costs U.S. $192 billion in lost income and taxes. Adding just one year of schooling for these would recoup nearly half those losses. Taxpayers foot an additional $978 million. Poor preparation cost $2.3 billion annually in lost productivity.

In addition, the average low-skill household was a free rider with respect to government public goods, receiving public goods costing some $6,095 per household for which it paid nothing. Dropout Households Receive More than $3.00 in benefits for every $1.00 paid in taxes. Lost Revenue in taxes for Government Spending: Households headed by dropouts: $9,689 Taxes paid per household Households headed by persons with high school diploma or higher: $34,629 Taxes paid per household Total Annual Net Cost of High School Dropout Households to the Taxpayer: $397 Billion—exclude spending on public goods, interest payments of government debt and related costs. $483 Billion—excluding spending on public goods. Net Lifetime Costs Receiving, on average, at least $22,449 more in benefits than they pay in taxes each year, low-skill households impose substantial long-term costs on the U.S. taxpayer. Assuming an average 50-year adult life span for heads of household, the average lifetime costs to the taxpayer will be $1.1 million for each low-skill household, net of any taxes paid. If the costs of interest and other financial obligations are added, the average lifetime cost rises to $1.3 million per household.

Ten years ago, Western Village was facing the possibility of closure. Enrollment had declined and the test scores were in the teens and twenties! INTEGRIS Health stepped up to the plate in 1998 and started an after school and summer program. Soon thereafter, a new staff was hired and the success story continued. In the Fall of 2000, Western Village opened as one of the State’s first elementary public charter schools, Western Village Academy, Inc., the only charter school to serve the children in its attendance area rather than selecting students from a pool of applicants. Enrollment has increased from 150 to 320 with an annual waiting list. Today, the facilities have been completely renovated, state-of-the art library/media and technology centers have been built, a walking track has been installed, and a master staff of teachers is on board. The test scores are now in the 70’s and 80’s, and the annual API targets have been reached for three years in a row. Western Village features an arts-integrated curriculum with full time specialists in visual art, music, dance/p.e. and literary arts. A full time physician’s assistant and counselor are on staff to serve students’ and their families’ needs. Every child in grades 1-5 has a mentor who comes to visit them once a week for one hour. Students in Grades Pre-K through fifth grade are served by a teacher and paraprofessional. Each of the morning and afternoon Pre-K classes are limited to 15 students each. Grades K-5th grade have no more than 22 students in each class, and total school enrollment is held at 320. SUCCESS FOR ALL , a scientifically research-based reading program has proven to be effective and successful. Starting with 25% of all 1st through 5th grade students reading on-or-above grade level and progressing to almost 70% reading on-or-above grade level has been one of our many achievements. Parent and community involvement has been key to the success of Western Village. Not only has INTEGRIS’ support been solid and ongoing, but Oklahoma Christian University, a local fire station, and several nearby churches have adopted Western Village and its teachers and children. Many donations have been made to help the school.
